Charter of King Henry III Concerning the Church of Hurstbourne

21 May 1Acc Reg 232

1 charter

Duplicate charter of King Henry III agreeing that the church of [Hurstbourne] was a member of the prebend of Burebeche [Burbage] in the church of Salisbury. The church of Hurstbourne was vacant by the death of Simon de Peregorr [Perigord] Dean of Chichester, and the King had presented Nicholas de Neville believing that the church was in his donation. However, Robert Bishop of Salisbury and the Chapter claimed that it belonged to the prebend of Burbage, which was a prebend of the Cathedral, on the grounds of an annual pension which the canon of the said prebend was accustomed to receiving from the dean. Having examined charters of earlier kings and others, the claims of the church of Salisbury were established and the King agreed that the church of Hurstbourne belonged to the church of Sarum, as a member of the prebend of Burbage, and that it should be so held in pure and perpetual alms. He assigned to Nicholas de Neville the possession of the church for his life, but saved the rights of both parties. See pp.227-8 of Rev. W. Dunn Macray (ed.), Salisbury Charters and Documents (1891), PR/HB/1 and HMC report p.385.
